I don't know what to think

So last Friday on the 18th we got the call that we needed to be in Michigan on Monday. A million questions are going through my mind and that's all they could tell us because of security reasons for our birth mother. So all day friday we arrange things to get ready to go. John found tickets to fly out the next day and we arranged for Rozalyn to stay with John's sister and her husband. They were gracious enough to do that for us. So Saturday afternoon we flew to Michigan and got there around 10 michigan time and then we still had to get a car rental. By the time we left michigan airport it was around 11:30. We drove a ways outside of Detroit to find a motel we just thought that would be safer. So we found a motel and got something to eat around midnight because it had been 12 hours since we ate last. Any way the next day we drove to Ann Arbor where we were suppose to be and just drove around getting use to the area. On Monday we went to the social office and unoffically they told us that our birth monther was going in that day and they would call us to let us know when the baby was born. So John and I went out and got a few last minute things. At around 1:30 we get the call that there is some bad news. Apparently they had our birth mother preped and ready to go for a c-section and they did one last ultra sound and decided that the baby was not ready to come out so they resceduled for Oct 2. Apparently the doctor at the prison said that she was ready and she wasn't. So we were bummed and mad that we had come all the way to michigan, wasted money flying and renting a car and stay at a motel and then find out no baby. I'm thinking our birth mother was disappointed also because she really wants this baby out because she has been incomfortable and is really big. What the @#%@ was the prison doctor thinking. We were told that he is not a very nice doctor. So I guess we get to do this all a again in about 2 weeks. We left all our stuff there with some friends so we didn't have to pay to bring it back and then take it with us again. I guess if everything ran smoothly it would be to normal.

  1. You have got to be kidding me right? That is just ridiculous. I can't believe that they didn't have the ultrasound done before they had you jump on a plane. That really sucks. I am sorry that adoption seems to be so confusing, expensive, and stupid sometimes. I know that once he is home with you, you will forget (mostly) about all the maddening craziness. Thanks for the update and I hope the next one is better.

  2. I have decided from stories that I have heard from you and other people dealing with adoption that it is a long hard road before all is said and done. I guess the good thing is that you don't have to be pregnant for nine months and go through labor right?!? :) I am just trying to make you feel better, but I am probably not doing a very good job. I can't wait to see pictures of the little guy!! I will be praying for you guys. Hopefully things will be easier from here on out!!
